peteski Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) I ran into this video while looking for other things on YouTube. Excellent presentation and it also shows the proper terminology which are often misused by modelers. The related videos mentioned at the end of this video are also worth watching.

That's funny, there is Con-Cor company that makes and sells model trains, but I don't think they ever had an injection-molding facility. They subcontracted other companies to make their models.

STYRENE-SURFER Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) I was really suprized this company was in Hayward Wisconsin (mostly known for the Muskie hall of fame). https://www.concortool.com/ Spent allot of time up there,my folks house was on the " Namekagon" river fed lake that is "Hayward Lake". Wishing I can revisit sometime in the future. who would think that such a high tech company dealing w/international customers would be up in hunting and fishing part of northern WI.

Spex84 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 That was an awesome video. Informative, but not too complex. Having attempted to make a couple videos of my own, I have a lot of respect for people who can put together something that is informative, accurate, and engrossing. Even just the scripting is difficult, not to mention all the 3D animations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I think I've watched all of Bill's videos after discovering them a few years ago. Who knew about bubble pumps? ? Always nice to see a well thought out, executed, and informative video on YouTube. More info about injection molding in this topic, too: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 LOL Casey, in that thread you linked to the same video, back in 2016! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rakentaja Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 260/5000 Very familiar with the content of that video. I worked for about 20 years in a factory that made a variety of plastic products. I still remember very well the operation of injection molding machines and molds, because I installed molds on machines every day. Adjusting the machines was also part of my job.
